Yes yes yes. I’ve been obsessed with this game. Detailed lore on this series is a completely untapped market rn and this video is PERFECT. Love to see more of these, you got a sun for sure!
I find it funny that people will complain that Remnant basically has no story and most of it is garbage and then praise Dark Souls deep lore. They did the same thing. Theres not much to the main story if you don't read anything and it seems shallow, but each world ahs its own deep lore and the earth storyline connects them all together.
Ellen is actually Founder Ford's granddaughter, not his daughter. I do love that each main character has their own distinction among the Yaeshans. The Destroyer (Chronos), The Wanderer (Remnant), and The Traveler (Remnant 2).
Fae's creation story was something I didn't read during the play thru. It's very alegorical to have them born from electrical storms, because electricity has polarity aka two opposite charges. If you seperate those charges you create tension that leads to lightning and thunder when they finally merge! But the worlds that collided (fae and elves) seem to be of opposite charges too. So everything in the "world" of Losomn his based on duality.
It was GOTY for pretty much everyone who played it but unfortunately that didn't matter. It's amazing but we still have new players playing it everyday because it's that good! 😊
Great video! I think the idea behind the ending was that all matter was converted to energy and returned to the Index, and afterward the Index exploded in a new Big Bang. Clem used her ability to impose a kind of blueprint on this new Big Bang in order to recreate the multiverse she knew.
If you talk to the Laemir from the Root Nexus boss, you can learn even more of Pan history before they settled on Yaesha. It is a very long dialogue, one which I thought I woud've skipped but ended up listening to every word.
I kind of like how fantastical the ending portrays the story though, makes me think loosely of The Dark Tower. Hell, in Secret World, the Labyrinth was indeed a location between realms that connected the realms. Them putting this computer-like twist to it, the Keeper, it kind of makes it all sound intricate and advanced.
You can't take Mudtooth's stories as fact. More than once he takes credit for stories that the MC of 1 actually did. He also mentions the Iskal Queen living a few miles away because he doesn't understand how the world stones work.
True but you can't say that he lies either as many of the stories that he does tell have happened as well. Mudtooth is more likely an unreliable narrator where its somewhat hard to tell if his stories are true or not. And to add, Mudtooth saying the Iskal Queen is nearby isn't him confusing how the world stones work (because just about everyone besides Cass knows how they work thanks to Founder and Wanderer), its likely that the Iskal Queen has indeed set up shop on Earth. Remember that Dwell has crossed over from Yaesha to Earth. That means realm travel is now possible for both sides when Haarsgard and the Destroyer killed the Guardians. And since the Iskal Queen is crazy enough to think she could merge the root with the Iskal, she's likely planning on invading Earth.
@@pillarmenn1936 Earth would be in a lot of trouble if the Iskal Queen actually arrived. She would be infecting everything she could into the hivemind. Also they would have to answer if the Wanderer killed her or the Undying King or both or neither.

Really fun video! Some things though, Tal'Ratha isn't a guardian, he's a navigator. Astropaths are able to see into the future to an extent to plot courses and avoid obstacles. As well, the mirrors on Losomn are likely destroyed because they lead into the mirror realm where the other half of the Imposter King resides.
From what I understand, Earth is meant to be the core world. It's not supposed to be able to let people travel between worlds the way we're able to. The existence of the Dreamers basically forced the multiverse to allow that to happen. To use the analogy of a Tree, it's the trunk and root of all worlds The Labyrinth is therefore the branches, a world that doesn't technically exist but kinda has to because of the way the multiverse works. It's a place where reality functions like a simulation, but is not necessarily a simulation in and of itself. The Keeper is essentially the administrator of the system that the universe functions off of. Each world is a leaf on the branches Essentially, the Root Homeworld is another iteration of the Core World. It's initially believed that the Root may have been an experimental bioweapon that accidentally attained sentience and overran its homeworld completely before corrupting the World Stone there. Therefore, they found a way to spread across worlds, slowly becoming a virus to the system as they wished to essentially cancel out Entropy and corrupt everything into being of them and killing everything else The Dreamers allowed the Root to infect the Core world, and therefore lead directly into the Labyrinth so as to reach every world. Us killing Haarsgard is what fully severed the Root from the Core world, but the damage was already done and they were still basically about to fully corrupt the multiverse. Remnant 2 involves us finally purging the virus and restoring the worlds by performing a data backup
The root from what I can see did not cause the thaen’s death, the queen killed it by giving a misshapen gourd taken from the roots of the thaen to the krell king
Honestly this game is 10/10 for me.. i haven't had such fun playing a game for years (aside from Elden ring) and i hoped that i see you make a video about it .. i thought it was a long shot but here it is ❤
A very important detail in the Faelin/Faerin fight is the dying words of each, if you kill Faelin he reveals that there was no impostor, confirming him and Faerin are the same, and both being the one impostor king.
I played Remnant relativly random with some friends. Not going into much detail back then. While playing remantn 2 i remembered alot of stuff, locations and enemies ive seen in the first game and when discovering the complex lore about the worlds and the game that came before remnant (chronos) i really appreciated the lore behind it. Its a really cool concept.
Nah, she's pretty predictable ounce you study her move set and take advantage of the I-Frames. For me, Cancer was horrible and Annihilation just has way too much going on that doesn't need to be unless if playing at the max difficulty.
The only boss that I dislike due to unfair mechanics is Magister Dullain. The damage he does is absurd on higher difficulties, seemingly higher than Annihilation, and the one-shot/no-revive mechanic on the super fast tongue attacks is downright infuriating. Easily my least favorite boss.
12:20 actually the tree was dying long before the root invasion, it started dying because she gave the death knot to the krell king 19:00 not interdimentional... just space... 44:26 Humans on the original core were the ones who created the root itself... read all the items you find on root earth...
not denying or saying you're wrong, but where does it say it the Thaen began dying due to her giving the death knot to the Krell King? im curious because i missed this.
@@octogorb9853 can't remember where it's said, via a conversation or an item description, but it's stated that once she removed the death knot the tree started to wither, and after a few years it died.
It is possible that Clementine was not able to get rid of the root, and all she did was "set time back" for a while, give us another chance (and a few more runs) until we find a permanent solution. Which will mean that chasing Ford in the DLC will make sense :)
Or maybe she locked that particular point in time in a separate time pocket. That if someone were to ever come up with a solution to ridding the root. She would send you there right at the point of victory against annihilation to implement said solution. But until then. That particular event most likely remains in frozen time space until someone comes along that has an idea to destroy the root for good. Like another traveller
I been playing this game so much. I can't wait for the dlc either. I wish more games had this many things to make fun builds with. I love making wildly different playstyles!
Two of the three were enjoyable, I still love the forgotten kingdom but I didn’t understand the dark horizon. I would have liked them to make multiple DLCs for each world but I don’t think that’s be doable or something they’d wish.
The imposter king is Faelin, since upon his death, you receive the crafting material "Imposter's heart", which crafts the weapon "Deceit". This implies that he is the imposter king, not Faerin.
I just picked up and played the sequel because it looked cool... now I'm hooked. Now I'm interested in the lore. My 14 year old son and I have a lot of fun playing it and I got Part 1 as well.
"Though often called upon by those who consider themselves eloquent, she herself rarely talks. She prefers the company of her steadfast steed, of which she speaks to in sweet-pitched cajolery--when her fellow Fae are not around." I always interpreted The Huntress to be Fae after reading this on the venerated spearhead.
Oh. I thought Orval was the Jester found in the castle because he is the one who gives you the quill. So I figured it was his origin story of how he kept drawing doors to eventually escape. And you are definitely correct as Orval is Dran while the Jester is Fae.
Remnant is NOT a shooter looter. All the gear you find is unique and can only be collected once. Each weapon is also fairly viable as it depends on upgrades much like a souls game. Its a procedurally generated third person shooter that leans more towards a soulslike.
I can see why people would consider it one ... since you shoot and you loot. >_> Also wikipedia names Remnant as an example of the shooter looter subgenre.^^
I ended up loving this game but it was recommended to me as a looter shooter and I had just finished outriders and thought this looked similar. It’s not. That’s ok but this isn’t even in the same realm as other games categorized as looter shooters. I think of borderland or destiny and Remnant is very far away from being anywhere near similar to those games. Again it’s fine and love the game but hooey I was not expecting what it delivers 😅
Gear being unique doesn't make a game not a looter shooter. Not every looter game has procedurally generated equipment. What matters is the basic gameplay loop of finding new gear to make numbers go up.
Sometimes stalemate is victory. I hate that in the end we basically lost the fight, that we failed. But at the same time, we didn't. We beat the root, forced it to halt, forced it to become irrelevant for a time. Sure we need to purge it, we need to actually remove the virus, but for the time being? We contained the virus into a small usb drive, and we can deal with it at a later time.
Gaming Harry, i hope you get over million subscribers you deserve it. You make best lore videoes. I discover you channel almost 2 years, and I have been fan ever since.
I would like to see you cover the Red throne campaign, the Pan Empress, Chronos Before the Ashes. Maybe you can do videos souly geared for one topic so you can make more videos? I don’t mind cramming everything into one for story recaps but definitely would like to hear more specific lore for characters.
17:05 you glossed over the fact that once you save the Doe you can find them where the Root guy was. They even comment on it and hand over a Rebellion Spear.
Oh wow, that guy from the first game really doomed everyone^^ Also, really great video, now I finally understand everything. I played the game in coop with 2 friends so we didn't pay close attention to the story or read any of the letters. I did pay attention when I was in singleplayer grinding the achievements and some rings for my builds, but I still didn't get as many details as you did. Edit: wait, I never saw the restoring and waking up again part... I always thought everything is destroyed and thats it, strange...
I was a little confused by your use of the word " World" cause I thought you meant like another planet in the same universe. It's actually just different universes that you go to which is pretty cool. Anyway awesome video.
When you pointed how the Annihilation seems to be controlled by a Dreamer, it only makes me more perplexed onto their origin since Alternate Earth is suppose to be where the Root came from. Were the Root literally *dreamed* into existence...?
Some item descriptions say that Root originated in the core world and the inhabitants could have stopped it but they didnt thus ultimately causing their end.
The Root existed on its own, prior to inhabiting Earth. Clawbone made contact with Harsgard when the World Stone was first discovered. It tricked the researchers into making contact with other worlds in order to ultimately create a gateway for the Root to invade Earth.
There's speculation I saw on Reddit is that the Dreamer who became Annihilation has his mind snapped during the Core Earth's Dreamer Project's attempt to manipulate reality. Said Dreamer, now wanting to end what he considers torment, decides to go on rampage to kill everything to bring that to the end. The Root is probably the creation of that Dreamer.
This game is super fun, the lore is cool, even tho I don’t know everything, I have been paying attention to stuff while I kill monsters and stuff, neat stuff, especially puzzles like the song needed to “calm” the ravages and how that went horribly wrong.
12:20 The Thaen tree started rotting way before the root came to Yaesha. It had something to do with the Krell king plucking one of the deadly purple thaen fruits. Also at 30:24, the Huntress is fae, not Dran
I think the lore about "The Core" is a bit confusing, but the labyrinth isn't The Core. The Keeper mentions that the The Core was corrupted and another had to be made, but there is only the one Labyrinth. But there are two Earths, one where the Root corruption began and the Earth we see in Chronos and the two Remnant games. From some scraps or lore and mudtooth's tales, which you have to take with some grains of salt, it looks like in the Root Earth the Root corruption was made as some attempt to fully understand the universe but due to it also being leveraged as a weapon it became an immortal force of destruction rather than creation. I think the game might use the appearance of a simulation to describe/portray how certain elements of its universe works, such as the keeper or the root corruption touching on the fundamental and more unknown forces of the universe and glitching out things. I'd say fixating on that misses a few of the more interesting points, there's a lot of motifs and conversations about resisting entropy and death, to achieve higher states of being for selfish causes. We see that in a lot of the bosses and storylines, and it's hidden in places within Root Earth's origins, it's a shame it's a bit too masked to really make it clear
Great video on explaining the story! I want to caution tagging this game as a looter-shooter. Sure there is a wide variety of weapons and some cool armor sets to be found. But you aren't finding random rolls of a weapon/armor. So I would actually emphasize the RPG elements because of the archetypes and their perks. And the overall buildcrafting with amulets, rings, mutators, etc.
Are we to assume that in actuality, each of the traveler’s different major world plot scenarios do in fact play out into a single timeline for that world? In the losom plot scenarios, for example, one playthrough involves removing the coma inducing dagger from the king and killing the imposter. In the losom plot scenario from the dlc, the king is awake and the imposter dead. If each plot scenario does in fact happen, then that would suggest the pan guardian’s soul, which was freed in one scenario, would incarnate into the red doe which was saved in the other scenario.
I swear they reused all the worlds; Yaesha is obvious. Rhom advanced and became N'Erud, all the statues have 4 arms like the king you kill for his rifle in Remnant for the ashes, and all teh dungeons have the same leaky black stuff, maybe they come from an 'Alternate' Rhom where the Root never attacked, but N'Erud is Rhom. And Losomn? Two worlds merged, I postulate 1 of them was Corsus, because they had elves. Losomn could easily be alternate Corsus without the bug people, but they're the same elves with the blue gray skin and pointed ears. And Earth is Earth, they even call it Root Earth. And Labyrinth is Labyrinth. I haven't seen anyone mention this anywhere yet and it seem really obvious.
I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few that actually enjoyed the story. It's pretty bare bones but its got room for lots of new content. I look forward to what they make next.
I didnt think it was bare bones at all. I think the story is pretty deep and interesting tbh. I think it only seems bare bones unless you take the time and effort to piece together whats actually going on. N'erud for example has an insane storyline involing the Dryzr race's search for life and eventual contact with Alepsis Taura that led to their destruction, but unless you are paying close attention in cutscenes and listening to the full audio logs, you will miss most of if not all of whats going on.
@@clownprince7 No no, you misunderstood my comment, I said it's bare bones as to how it is presented to the player through exposition and dialogue. I know very well the actual lore and descriptions of items put together an amazing story, which I mentioned. It's just that what the NPCs or cut scenes show to the player is very limited and don't explain much compared to what it really it. The first game had the same problem. There's almost nothing told to the player unless they start digging and reading.
23:50 Or you can use an override key found on N'Erud to open the core and kill Sha'Hala's metaphysical form which the Custodian gets really angry at the player for doing so.
I really loved the world stories, particularly N'Erud's. And I was fascinated by the stories that Likh told in the Forgotten Fields of Yaesha if you rescue him. The only thing that still somewhat confuses me is Losomn; specifically the name, Losomn. The other 'world names' aren't really world names. N'Erud is the name of what is either a mobilised planet or a planet-sized ship, that the game takes place on, and Yaesha is the name of the continent. I did not come across any mention of the name 'Losomn' within its world. Is it Dran or Fae in origin? And what does the name mean or refer to?
If I was to wager a guess, it's the name of the town itself that the adventure takes place in. Kind of like how we don't have an official name for the Fae side of things either it's just the Beatific/ Malific Palace.
Losomn strikes me as a country but because of the duality nature of it (especially with the mirror nature of the Fae) it is clear they're like Fae and Drow (hence Dran). I personally loved the Dran's side of things because it reminds me of Blood Born, and here I come being a Gunslinger/Invader badass that just obliterates them. It is rather interesting but given The One True King's state of being, I am thinking he was first to fall victim to the Root but perhaps the Assassin did so to keep the Root's approach in check... or stop it all together. Love the political intrigue the Fae wrestle with and the Crimson Prince himself desiring to kill the Usurper made for interesting dialog.
It's a play on the word "Solomn". At least for me. But if I were to guess, since the Fae are the invaders, it's probably Dran origin. We don't really know where the Fae come from.
@@FatalFist Guardians cant be corrupted while still living. If they could we would probably have some sign of such. All that we know is that the Root can directly attack them briefly (as seen with Reisum). They just put the King to sleep because of the thought of tyranny, trading one tyrant for annother. This is all said in the Council Chamber event.
If you calm the ravager in from the ashes, you have a really deep conversation where he exposes many secrets of the worlds, really a great character always positioned as a villian
I like to think that when they entered the black hole again, thats not nothing we see. Thats a new universe that exploded from the new big bang and started anew.
I may be wrong, but tha game game gave me the impression that the Custodian is actually a Drzyr, and use several constructs to expand his purview of N'erud, as seen with the boss "Custonian's Eye". But again, I might be wrong. Edit: I stand corrected. Both Tal'Ratha and the Custodian itself mention its construction.
Hey do you know if the character behind the root voice from chronos makes a reappearance in the later games? Ive heard some say it was cancer in root earth in remnant 2
Is this just showing the canon progression, there seems to be some weird stuff that's pretty major being skipped? Faelin and Faerin both specifically claim to have slayed the One True King. It also didn't mention the book we find that explains the exact thought process of at least one Fae (probably most of them considering the other books we find), in which he's talking with a lawyer of sorts and explains that freedom is the Fae's main driving force and birthright, so taking someone else's freedom in pursuit of their own, should have no consequence. Some of the Fae take it upon themselves to rule over others, The Red Prince in particular takes it upon himself to protect the Fae that praise him, and refuses to let others have the freedom to deny him. Even the Council are torn between the Fae ways of doing what they want in a blind pursuit to find the traitor, and following the laws set by their king which stops them from doing just that. Even the Imposter King(s) fights seems to show this too as no Fae stand between you and the King when you fight, the boss doesn't call mobs and instead relies on his own powers to kill you, the Fae seem to simply not care, they know they can't overpower him so they simply fly away and let you two duke it out, if you kill the king, they're more free, if you die, nothing changes, stepping in to help is the only way they lose anything. Also, as far as the mirrors being shattered and whatnot goes, the portal you go through in the council chamber is definitely just a massive mirror, these mirrors were probably shattered as they lead to the other Fae realm, seeing as the Fae want freedom, it makes sense that they'd shatter the mirrors as they already lost some freedom in having one king and they definitely wouldn't want two kings. Which is also weird when you notice that the Council is only present in the light realm, while we only remove the dagger from the king in the dark realm. Adding on that there's not shown to be two Nimues or Nightweavers, but after you kill the Nightweaver, Nimue can finally sleep, but the Dran don't change. I'd imagine there's still a sleeping king and another pair of the Goddesses floating around somewhere, they never seemed to explain why the Nightweaver didn't attack the king in his sleep. Considering we had to go to the Nightweaver's realm of the Dran world in order to even fight her, it's not too farfetched to assume we killed the dark realm version of the Nightweaver and haven't dealt with the other yet.
never really been a fan of time travel and multiverses personally so the grand story didn't really click with me however exploring each world and its story was really interesting.
I don't think the "universe is a simulation" is what's happening here. I think the technology of the Labyrinth is so advanced that it can manipulate the universe as if it were a simulation.
So the universe isn't a simulation, but looks acts and functions exactly like a simulation? So it's a simulation, that doesn't make the story meaningless even if it is simulated.

The only boss that I dislike due to unfair mechanics is Magister Dullain. The damage he does is absurd on higher difficulties, seemingly higher than Annihilation, and the one-shot/no-revive mechanic on the super fast tongue attacks is downright infuriating. Easily my least favorite boss.
She was the first major world boss I fought I got lossom first killed Gwendolyn then red prince then nightweaver
Haha venom was the hardest for me. He's like a devil may cry boss. That goddamn sword
Im new to th3 game and this was THE BEST explanation of what has and is going on. Recommended to those i know new to the game
Great video! Very informative, entertaining and clear. Loved it. ❤
12:20 actually the tree was dying long before the root invasion, it started dying because she gave the death knot to the krell king
19:00 not interdimentional... just space...
44:26 Humans on the original core were the ones who created the root itself... read all the items you find on root earth...
Yeah, original Core Humans accidentally created the Root as a failed byproduct of them attempting to manipulate reality itself.
not denying or saying you're wrong, but where does it say it the Thaen began dying due to her giving the death knot to the Krell King? im curious because i missed this.
@@octogorb9853 can't remember where it's said, via a conversation or an item description, but it's stated that once she removed the death knot the tree started to wither, and after a few years it died.
@@nova9731 huh. Good to learn a tidbit of lore that got by me. Thanks.
Original earth humans may have created the root but that doesn't explain Clawbone at all. They still interacted with something beyond root earth.
It is possible that Clementine was not able to get rid of the root, and all she did was "set time back" for a while, give us another chance (and a few more runs) until we find a permanent solution.
Which will mean that chasing Ford in the DLC will make sense :)
That's a good point
Or maybe she locked that particular point in time in a separate time pocket.
That if someone were to ever come up with a solution to ridding the root. She would send you there right at the point of victory against annihilation to implement said solution.
But until then. That particular event most likely remains in frozen time space until someone comes along that has an idea to destroy the root for good. Like another traveller
Thank you so much. I had no clue what this game was and I've been seeing gameplay all over UA-cam.
I just loved how Root Earth is like a much more malicious and dangerous version than that of the Upside Down haha
I been playing this game so much. I can't wait for the dlc either. I wish more games had this many things to make fun builds with. I love making wildly different playstyles!
Fr. I played the hell outta it the first time I got it. It isn't as long as the first Remnant but with so many rerolls ...
the expressiveness of the Ravager's arm motions during his monologue really get me. super cool stiff
The DLCs... did not shed more light.
Two of the three were enjoyable, I still love the forgotten kingdom but I didn’t understand the dark horizon. I would have liked them to make multiple DLCs for each world but I don’t think that’s be doable or something they’d wish.
Thanks! Especially for the time stamps 🍿
Been waiting for this video from you. Such a good game.
The imposter king is Faelin, since upon his death, you receive the crafting material "Imposter's heart", which crafts the weapon "Deceit". This implies that he is the imposter king, not Faerin.
They are both the imposter king. The One True King is still the King
I have been waiting for this ❤thanks Harry
I just picked up and played the sequel because it looked cool... now I'm hooked. Now I'm interested in the lore. My 14 year old son and I have a lot of fun playing it and I got Part 1 as well.
"Though often called upon by those who consider themselves eloquent, she herself rarely talks. She prefers the company of her steadfast steed, of which she speaks to in sweet-pitched cajolery--when her fellow Fae are not around."
I always interpreted The Huntress to be Fae after reading this on the venerated spearhead.
37:36 That music you had in the background is the second time I'm hearing it. First was from one of Luetin09's old Warhammer videos.
Oh. I thought Orval was the Jester found in the castle because he is the one who gives you the quill. So I figured it was his origin story of how he kept drawing doors to eventually escape. And you are definitely correct as Orval is Dran while the Jester is Fae.
Love the video, something nice to watch while working.
This was awesome cheers man
Remnant is NOT a shooter looter. All the gear you find is unique and can only be collected once. Each weapon is also fairly viable as it depends on upgrades much like a souls game. Its a procedurally generated third person shooter that leans more towards a soulslike.
It's one of the few games other than any of the souls games that do this nowadays.
I can see why people would consider it one ... since you shoot and you loot. >_> Also wikipedia names Remnant as an example of the shooter looter subgenre.^^
I ended up loving this game but it was recommended to me as a looter shooter and I had just finished outriders and thought this looked similar. It’s not. That’s ok but this isn’t even in the same realm as other games categorized as looter shooters. I think of borderland or destiny and Remnant is very far away from being anywhere near similar to those games. Again it’s fine and love the game but hooey I was not expecting what it delivers 😅
Gear being unique doesn't make a game not a looter shooter. Not every looter game has procedurally generated equipment. What matters is the basic gameplay loop of finding new gear to make numbers go up.
Who cares bro
Love your vids, your voice makes it so soothing to watch. Ender lillies was a good one if you could do a video on that
Sometimes stalemate is victory.
I hate that in the end we basically lost the fight, that we failed. But at the same time, we didn't. We beat the root, forced it to halt, forced it to become irrelevant for a time. Sure we need to purge it, we need to actually remove the virus, but for the time being? We contained the virus into a small usb drive, and we can deal with it at a later time.
Gaming Harry, i hope you get over million subscribers you deserve it. You make best lore videoes. I discover you channel almost 2 years, and I have been fan ever since.
First vid of yours I've seen, and it's very well Scripted and read out!
I would like to see you cover the Red throne campaign, the Pan Empress, Chronos Before the Ashes. Maybe you can do videos souly geared for one topic so you can make more videos? I don’t mind cramming everything into one for story recaps but definitely would like to hear more specific lore for characters.
17:05 you glossed over the fact that once you save the Doe you can find them where the Root guy was. They even comment on it and hand over a Rebellion Spear.
This was great!! Thank you.
Oh wow, that guy from the first game really doomed everyone^^
Also, really great video, now I finally understand everything. I played the game in coop with 2 friends so we didn't pay close attention to the story or read any of the letters.
I did pay attention when I was in singleplayer grinding the achievements and some rings for my builds, but I still didn't get as many details as you did.
Edit: wait, I never saw the restoring and waking up again part... I always thought everything is destroyed and thats it, strange...
I was a little confused by your use of the word " World" cause I thought you meant like another planet in the same universe. It's actually just different universes that you go to which is pretty cool. Anyway awesome video.
They're considered worlds by the game iirc
Quick note: Magister Delane is not the only boss you can fight in Losomn. On my first playthrough we fought the Red Prince.
Wanted you to cover both games since I first discovered youre chanel!!
When you pointed how the Annihilation seems to be controlled by a Dreamer, it only makes me more perplexed onto their origin since Alternate Earth is suppose to be where the Root came from.
Were the Root literally *dreamed* into existence...?
It’s heavily implied that the Root is humanity,But taking a very bad turn
Some item descriptions say that Root originated in the core world and the inhabitants could have stopped it but they didnt thus ultimately causing their end.
The Root existed on its own, prior to inhabiting Earth. Clawbone made contact with Harsgard when the World Stone was first discovered. It tricked the researchers into making contact with other worlds in order to ultimately create a gateway for the Root to invade Earth.
@@BeRadMH Root Earth was the original core world. Root also originated from there.
There's speculation I saw on Reddit is that the Dreamer who became Annihilation has his mind snapped during the Core Earth's Dreamer Project's attempt to manipulate reality. Said Dreamer, now wanting to end what he considers torment, decides to go on rampage to kill everything to bring that to the end. The Root is probably the creation of that Dreamer.
This game is super fun, the lore is cool, even tho I don’t know everything, I have been paying attention to stuff while I kill monsters and stuff, neat stuff, especially puzzles like the song needed to “calm” the ravages and how that went horribly wrong.
Yooo just became a member 😎
12:20 The Thaen tree started rotting way before the root came to Yaesha. It had something to do with the Krell king plucking one of the deadly purple thaen fruits. Also at 30:24, the Huntress is fae, not Dran
I like how both yaesha storylines in remnant 2 shows that you basically doomed the world in both the previous games.
Remnant 2 came out?! OH MAN, I NEED THIS
I think the lore about "The Core" is a bit confusing, but the labyrinth isn't The Core. The Keeper mentions that the The Core was corrupted and another had to be made, but there is only the one Labyrinth. But there are two Earths, one where the Root corruption began and the Earth we see in Chronos and the two Remnant games. From some scraps or lore and mudtooth's tales, which you have to take with some grains of salt, it looks like in the Root Earth the Root corruption was made as some attempt to fully understand the universe but due to it also being leveraged as a weapon it became an immortal force of destruction rather than creation.
I think the game might use the appearance of a simulation to describe/portray how certain elements of its universe works, such as the keeper or the root corruption touching on the fundamental and more unknown forces of the universe and glitching out things. I'd say fixating on that misses a few of the more interesting points, there's a lot of motifs and conversations about resisting entropy and death, to achieve higher states of being for selfish causes. We see that in a lot of the bosses and storylines, and it's hidden in places within Root Earth's origins, it's a shame it's a bit too masked to really make it clear
Great video on explaining the story! I want to caution tagging this game as a looter-shooter. Sure there is a wide variety of weapons and some cool armor sets to be found. But you aren't finding random rolls of a weapon/armor.
So I would actually emphasize the RPG elements because of the archetypes and their perks. And the overall buildcrafting with amulets, rings, mutators, etc.
Are we to assume that in actuality, each of the traveler’s different major world plot scenarios do in fact play out into a single timeline for that world?
In the losom plot scenarios, for example, one playthrough involves removing the coma inducing dagger from the king and killing the imposter. In the losom plot scenario from the dlc, the king is awake and the imposter dead.
If each plot scenario does in fact happen, then that would suggest the pan guardian’s soul, which was freed in one scenario, would incarnate into the red doe which was saved in the other scenario.
I swear they reused all the worlds;
Yaesha is obvious.
Rhom advanced and became N'Erud, all the statues have 4 arms like the king you kill for his rifle in Remnant for the ashes, and all teh dungeons have the same leaky black stuff, maybe they come from an 'Alternate' Rhom where the Root never attacked, but N'Erud is Rhom.
And Losomn? Two worlds merged, I postulate 1 of them was Corsus, because they had elves. Losomn could easily be alternate Corsus without the bug people, but they're the same elves with the blue gray skin and pointed ears.
And Earth is Earth, they even call it Root Earth.
And Labyrinth is Labyrinth.
I haven't seen anyone mention this anywhere yet and it seem really obvious.
Yaesha definitely was in all 3 games. Rhom...was that the desert stage?
I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few that actually enjoyed the story. It's pretty bare bones but its got room for lots of new content. I look forward to what they make next.
The story is amazing, the biggest issue is the way that it's told to the player. For your average player, the story is very bare bones and... bad.
I didnt think it was bare bones at all. I think the story is pretty deep and interesting tbh. I think it only seems bare bones unless you take the time and effort to piece together whats actually going on. N'erud for example has an insane storyline involing the Dryzr race's search for life and eventual contact with Alepsis Taura that led to their destruction, but unless you are paying close attention in cutscenes and listening to the full audio logs, you will miss most of if not all of whats going on.
@@clownprince7 No no, you misunderstood my comment, I said it's bare bones as to how it is presented to the player through exposition and dialogue. I know very well the actual lore and descriptions of items put together an amazing story, which I mentioned. It's just that what the NPCs or cut scenes show to the player is very limited and don't explain much compared to what it really it.
The first game had the same problem. There's almost nothing told to the player unless they start digging and reading.
@@Relhio got you...and yea I agree but tbh all souls-likes that i have played have that in common
45 min till my appt? 45 min video? It’s meant to be ❤
23:50 Or you can use an override key found on N'Erud to open the core and kill Sha'Hala's metaphysical form which the Custodian gets really angry at the player for doing so.
I really loved the world stories, particularly N'Erud's. And I was fascinated by the stories that Likh told in the Forgotten Fields of Yaesha if you rescue him. The only thing that still somewhat confuses me is Losomn; specifically the name, Losomn. The other 'world names' aren't really world names. N'Erud is the name of what is either a mobilised planet or a planet-sized ship, that the game takes place on, and Yaesha is the name of the continent.
I did not come across any mention of the name 'Losomn' within its world. Is it Dran or Fae in origin? And what does the name mean or refer to?
If I was to wager a guess, it's the name of the town itself that the adventure takes place in.
Kind of like how we don't have an official name for the Fae side of things either it's just the Beatific/ Malific Palace.
Losomn strikes me as a country but because of the duality nature of it (especially with the mirror nature of the Fae) it is clear they're like Fae and Drow (hence Dran). I personally loved the Dran's side of things because it reminds me of Blood Born, and here I come being a Gunslinger/Invader badass that just obliterates them. It is rather interesting but given The One True King's state of being, I am thinking he was first to fall victim to the Root but perhaps the Assassin did so to keep the Root's approach in check... or stop it all together. Love the political intrigue the Fae wrestle with and the Crimson Prince himself desiring to kill the Usurper made for interesting dialog.
It's a play on the word "Solomn". At least for me. But if I were to guess, since the Fae are the invaders, it's probably Dran origin. We don't really know where the Fae come from.
@@FatalFist Guardians cant be corrupted while still living. If they could we would probably have some sign of such. All that we know is that the Root can directly attack them briefly (as seen with Reisum). They just put the King to sleep because of the thought of tyranny, trading one tyrant for annother. This is all said in the Council Chamber event.
@@octogorb9853 while the king slept tho somehow the root corrupted him
21:26 this is a real physics thing btw, time works like that around every black hole
If you calm the ravager in from the ashes, you have a really deep conversation where he exposes many secrets of the worlds, really a great character always positioned as a villian
I like to think that when they entered the black hole again, thats not nothing we see. Thats a new universe that exploded from the new big bang and started anew.
Nice lore video. I wonder how the DLC will confirm or change the lore and will we get a Remnent 3
3:30 holy damn, I see where this is going! 😲
Something to note about N'erud when it enters the black hole. Its not nothing there are stars and nebulas again which before had all burnt out
I may be wrong, but tha game game gave me the impression that the Custodian is actually a Drzyr, and use several constructs to expand his purview of N'erud, as seen with the boss "Custonian's Eye". But again, I might be wrong.
Edit: I stand corrected. Both Tal'Ratha and the Custodian itself mention its construction.
The actual custodian is the weird black blob in the tank under his room
I love your videos
It would be cool to see if you do a video on Dishonored franchise next. Dishonored world has one of the coolest lores and outcomes in the game.
maybe in the future you can do a story telling about Hellpoint , has that N'Erud vibe with a black hole and stuff ...
I love hellpoint
Nice video
After getting the weapon anguish I don't even know anymore about this story
Hey do you know if the character behind the root voice from chronos makes a reappearance in the later games? Ive heard some say it was cancer in root earth in remnant 2
*Sees upload 1 hour ago
LETS GOOOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥
Is this just showing the canon progression, there seems to be some weird stuff that's pretty major being skipped?
Faelin and Faerin both specifically claim to have slayed the One True King. It also didn't mention the book we find that explains the exact thought process of at least one Fae (probably most of them considering the other books we find), in which he's talking with a lawyer of sorts and explains that freedom is the Fae's main driving force and birthright, so taking someone else's freedom in pursuit of their own, should have no consequence. Some of the Fae take it upon themselves to rule over others, The Red Prince in particular takes it upon himself to protect the Fae that praise him, and refuses to let others have the freedom to deny him. Even the Council are torn between the Fae ways of doing what they want in a blind pursuit to find the traitor, and following the laws set by their king which stops them from doing just that.
Even the Imposter King(s) fights seems to show this too as no Fae stand between you and the King when you fight, the boss doesn't call mobs and instead relies on his own powers to kill you, the Fae seem to simply not care, they know they can't overpower him so they simply fly away and let you two duke it out, if you kill the king, they're more free, if you die, nothing changes, stepping in to help is the only way they lose anything.
Also, as far as the mirrors being shattered and whatnot goes, the portal you go through in the council chamber is definitely just a massive mirror, these mirrors were probably shattered as they lead to the other Fae realm, seeing as the Fae want freedom, it makes sense that they'd shatter the mirrors as they already lost some freedom in having one king and they definitely wouldn't want two kings. Which is also weird when you notice that the Council is only present in the light realm, while we only remove the dagger from the king in the dark realm. Adding on that there's not shown to be two Nimues or Nightweavers, but after you kill the Nightweaver, Nimue can finally sleep, but the Dran don't change. I'd imagine there's still a sleeping king and another pair of the Goddesses floating around somewhere, they never seemed to explain why the Nightweaver didn't attack the king in his sleep. Considering we had to go to the Nightweaver's realm of the Dran world in order to even fight her, it's not too farfetched to assume we killed the dark realm version of the Nightweaver and haven't dealt with the other yet.
I think the imposter is Faelin because he gives you a item known as the imposters heart which makes it pretty obvious
great explanation
never really been a fan of time travel and multiverses personally so the grand story didn't really click with me however exploring each world and its story was really interesting.
This game teaches us the importance of backing up your saved data.
I don't think the "universe is a simulation" is what's happening here. I think the technology of the Labyrinth is so advanced that it can manipulate the universe as if it were a simulation.
So the universe isn't a simulation, but looks acts and functions exactly like a simulation? So it's a simulation, that doesn't make the story meaningless even if it is simulated.
A luthier is specifically an artisan maker of guitars.
What’s the deal with the Head Nurse not being in the cell when you open the door in Losomn Asylum? Never did figure that one out
She's the doll
The root seem similar to phyrexians from mtg . Corrupting multiversal threat trying to invade everywhere else .
We learn the root is actually mankind
